not conclude, however, without requesting our readers to observe, in the great victory which has at last been gained in this cause, another and a most signal example of the irresistible power of popular opinion, when steadily, and firmly, and temperately asserted. Had the same zeal and energy which have at last been triumphant over the obstinate prejudices and arrogance of the Government, been exerted at an earlier period, what a different scene might we have now been contemplating! Instead of endeavouring, in 1812, to repair the irreparable damage which was done in 1807, we should have seen the powerful voice of the people beating down these pernicious Orders on their first enactment; and preventing all that misery which it has now taught us how to cure. We cannot but observe, too, not only how safe and temperate, but how eminently salutary and providential this and all the other measures have been, which the sense of the country at large has lately forced upon its rulers. -Such an experimental proof of the uses of popular control and interference, should go far, we think, to abate the great jealousy with which so many persons now affect to regard this part of the constitution; and conciliate the general favour to any prudent and practicable plan for bringing the sense and the inclinations of the nation to act more directly upon its Legislature. It is a very remarkable thing, that a large proportion of the witnesses by whose unimpeached testimony the deplorable state of our trade has thus been unmasked to the public, belonged to places that have no representatives in Parliament;-and a body undoubtedly among the most respectable, as well as the most important in the nation, thus appears to have been left without any adequate or legitimate organ by which its sentiments could be communicated to the Government.

But though we have no doubt that it was the weight and the dread of the public sentiment that ultimately triumphed over the obstinate and conceited ignorance of the ministers, we should be doing great injustice to the distinguished person whose speech is now before us, if we did not recoguise him, not merely as the instrument, but in a great degree as the cause of that triumph. Strong as the case of the petitioners-we should rather say of the country-was in itself-irresistibly and deplorably strong, we greatly doubt whether it would have been carried through in the present Parliament, had it not been for the unwearied vigilance-the undaunted firmness-the unerring acuteness, and nervous and commanding eloquence, of that Honourable Gentleman. Without his unprecedented exertions, the Committee would have lingered on till the close of the session; when the news of war with America, and exasperated tumults in the manufacturing districts, would have afforded a pretext for break

ing off the inquiry, and hurrying the Government into measures of violence from which it would have been impossible to return either with safety or with honour. To Mr Brougham, then, we think that the Commerce and the Peace of England are indebted for their salvation in the day of their greatest peril;-and he is entitled to the proud distinction of having done more for his country-by his own individual exertions-in opposition--and unassisted by any great combination of political power, than any ministry, or than any party, has been able to accomplish in the memory of any living statesman.-The benefit which he has conferred, too, is as substantial and certain, as it is great and extensive is connected with no spirit that can be branded with the name of factious-and rests upon no assumption that can be represented as speculative or questionable. These are the true civic laurels-unstained with tears or with blood-and both inspiring and rewarding that pure and lofty ambition which seeks not to triumph over an adversary, but to bestow a blessing on mankind.
